12 Games Remain

Holy crap, it's the middle of September already. I remember anxiously awaiting the first pitch of the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies season back on a cold day in March, and yet here we are with only 12 games remaining on the schedule and the Phils in the thick of the NL playoff picture. Things didn't always look so good for the Phightins though, but thanks to some recent events they're sitting pretty. Click on URL for full article of the recent events that have helped the Phils (Mets collapse, Ned Yost being retarded with the Brewers, and the Astros getting screwed over by MLB), and a look at important games tonight with pitching matchups (Phils- Jamie Moyer vs. Braves- James Parr, Mets- Mike Pelfrey vs. Nationals- Odalis Perez, and Brewers- CC Sabathia vs. Cubs- Ryan Dempster).
